  I could not get this to work last night with Fire. Kept getting a error that asked me if I wanted to create an account (or something). I'll fight with it some more tonight.

  I'm having a bit of trouble (read: bitch of a time) trying to get on via Adium.
  
  Server: talk.google.com
  Port: 5222
  Encryption: SSL on
  
  Not sure why it won't let me on. Probably the same trouble you are having with Fire.

  alright alright. I got it working. I had not checked 'Use SSL' before. I've got buddies on AOL, MSN, Y!, ICQ, and now GTalk. This is using the Jabber protocol which is nice when compared to the other networks since Jabber is a completely open standard - open to anyone and everyone.
  Google doesn't usually do something without making it notable in some respect - what do you think they have up their four billion dollar sleeves?

  I'm thinking the same thing. Sure their client is smooth and clean looking, but it is also missing a lot of features that even ICQ had oh so many years ago. So what are they trying to improve on here?
  
  We'll see I guess, but at least this 4th IM network isn't causing me any more trouble because its an easy add to Adium.
